"Madam President, this issue has everything to do with subsidiarity, it has been said. It is indeed up to countries themselves to pass laws. But the question here is whether the Euthanasia Act conflicts with European and international Treaties. This is a serious concern that we have and it is our responsibility to discuss this issue as well as the cross-border effects that it has. So, apart from the subsidiarity which each of us respects, it is about that. Anyway, I can read to Mrs van der Laan what Mrs Borst has written back to Mr Liese because I have a copy. She writes that she seriously considered coming but her conclusion is that it would not be the right decision for the minister for public health to come and speak to us. That surprised us. It surprised us that she does not think that Parliament is the right place to discuss this issue."@en1
